The research is a Research and Development study with a 4-D model: define, design, develop, and disseminate. Data were collected using a validation sheet, observation sheet, and scientific literacy test. The GBIM was piloted on 25 suburban elementary school students in East Java. The data then were ana- lyzed by using descriptive statistics: comparison with eligibility and N-gain cri- teria. The result indicated that the GBIM is compatible as alternative learning media to improve elementary students’ scientific literacy, that was: a) very valid with a score of 3.55; b) practical to use at “good criteria” with more student- centered learning; c) effective, as there were positive responses about the learn- ing activities and the students improved their scientific literacy from level 3 to level 4, with an N-gain of 0.4 in the medium category. Keywords—Gadget-based interactive multimedia, socio-scientific issues, sci- entific literacy 1 Introduction Scientific literacy is an essential competency required by individuals to actively contribute and participate in creating a better life in this modern era. As a reference, [1] describes one of the four skills needed in the 21st century for the future generation to meet the globalization challenges due to information and technology advances, namely digital age literacy, which includes scientific literacy. Science is strongly associated with everyday life. Therefore, scientific education needs to ensure that the next generation is scientific literate [2]. However, the scientific literacy of Indonesian students has not shown encouraging results. This is reflected in the results of the sci- entific literacy test in 2018, where Indonesian students were ranked 71 out of 79 countries and their average score was below the average score for the whole country tested by OECD. Science can be learned naturally and effectively in the context of Socio-scientific Issues (SSI) [3]. SSI consists of social dilemmas that hold conceptual or technical 56 http://www.i-jim.org https://doi.org/10.3991/ijim.v15i01.13675 Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… relation to science [4-5]. Reference [6-8] states that SSI is comprised of problems that are open to multiple solutions. The use of SSI in education may improve students’ skills in making decisions. SSI teaches metastrategic skills such as evaluation, making decisions and arguments [9]. In this case, SSI appears as a key role of scientific litera- cy [10]. SSI prepares individuals to develop an alternative solution as well as ethical and scientific reasoning skills [11]. Scientific literacy is the ability to be involved in science-related issues and scien- tific ideas as a reflective citizen. Someone who has scientific literacy is willing to be involved in issues related to science and technology which require competencies to explain scientific phenomena; evaluate and design scientific research; interpret scien- tific data and evidence [12]. There is some research regarding the use of SSI in learning activities as seen in ref- erence [13] suggesting that argumentation exercise should be done. Thus, it will allow students to strongly hold onto their ideas about SSI, evaluate various alternatives and allow them to make value-oriented decisions in the realm of intuitive education. Ac- cording to [8], Korean middle school teachers state that SSI is necessary for the sci- ence curriculum. Besides, the result shows that using SSI as in a learning context has a significant impact on students’ critical thinking skills [14-16]. Upper elementary students (grades 4, 5, and 6) are those ranging between 10-13 years old. Based on that age range, those students are included as generation Z. Gen- eration Z [17] encompasses kids or teenagers born in 1995-2012. Generation Z is currently in school and has several characteristics as follows: expert in understanding technology, multi-tasker, socially open through the use of technology, fast and impa- tient, interactive, and vigorous [18]. Time Magazine stated that generation Z is at- tracted to technology and skill-based learning. Technology is indispensable for Gen- eration Z. This generation grows in the era of unlimited access to information, when- ever and wherever, with unceasingly new trend. In general, they have access to cell phone or tablet at a very early age and is raised using one or more computerized de- vice. Thus, device-based learning will be even more massive, because generation Z prefers learning like this. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) stated that social actors and scientists should be mutually responsive to create a better understanding of science and social issues (including risk, benefit, and obstacle). Thus, it will possibly instill science and technology advancement in the community [19-20]. Information technology compe- tency and teacher’s communication are constantly regarded as an important element in the development of education. It can be regarded as the required skills and knowledge for teachers to integrate the use of technology devices more as a learning tool into their daily practices [21]. In developed countries such as Australia, the need to integrate the use of infor- mation and communication technology (ICT) into the science curriculum is explicitly mentioned in the Australian School Science Education National Action Plan. In that plan, it is said that students study science by seeking perceptions from various sources starting from direct investigation to web surfing [22]. Here is one of the findings of the studies related to ICT application in learning activity. Reference [23] states that ICT is used to develop effective science learning. The use of computer-based media iJIM ‒ Vol. 15, No. 01, 2021 57 Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… with many alternatives effectively helps students understand the chemical phenome- non deeper [24]. The use of technology-based learning medium is an integration of ICT into learn- ing activity. One of the suitable media used to improve learning for Generation Z is interactive multimedia. In teaching any kind of subject, through its efficiency and impact, digital application has a relatively big role since it contributes significantly to the didactic principal implementation and teaching goals realization [25-27]. Course delivery supported by the use of multimedia attracts students and affects learning development and creation of the right conception [28]. The use of multimedia and virtual reality makes the world seem like no one ever sees before [29-31]. The use of multimedia in learning emphasizes experience and learning ability from a variety of nonverbal representations such as pictures, animation, and narration to- wards students [32]. Besides, meaningful learning in the use of multimedia is realized when students pick up relevant information, coherent principles, modality, individual differences, etc., which to this day, those principles have become the main guideline to design multimedia instruction. A variety of research has observed the application of multimedia in science learn- ing and its effectiveness in science course teaching. The effectiveness may improve due to the increased motivation and interest in this course due to the use of different multimedia as a learning material of a higher level than visualization of abstract con- cepts offered in visual media by focusing on essential science concepts and education [33-36]. Empirical research showed that the use of computer-based media with multi- ple representatives effectively helps students understand the chemical phenomenon better [24]. The use of interactive multimedia contributes positively to minimize stu- dents’ negative behavior during learning activity in school, especially in physics [37]. Interactive White Board (IWB) is reported to be effective for teachers to interact and incorporate digital content and multimedia learning sources in class [38-40]. Clayton & Murphy [41] state that the right use of gadgets tend to boost students learning while a Huda et al. [42] find students using gadgets to be productive if done correctly. This study aimed to develop SSI Gadget-based interactive multimedia to improve elemen- tary students’ scientific literacy skills. 2 Method of Research 2.1 Research design This research was a Research and Development (R & D) with a 4-D model initiat- ed by Thiagarajan, Semmel, and Semmel [43]. The developed product is SSI-GBIM on the topic of Healthy Food for fourth-grade elementary students. Through the define and design stages, an SSI-GBIM prototype was produced with the following charac- teristics: 1) The GBIM is packaged in the form of an application program that runs on an Android-based device; 2) GBIM contains SSI in food-related health, namely sweetened condensed milk, cases of malnutrition, cases of diarrhea, and cases of dia- betes; 3) Based on SSI, GBIM encourages students to carry out simple investigations 58 http://www.i-jim.org Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… and study science concepts through interactive multimedia; 4) There is a scientific literacy check feature. Figure 1 shows some of the screenshots of SSI and Gadget-based IM under the theme of Healthy Food. Fig. 1. IM-SSI-Gadget interface iJIM ‒ Vol. 15, No. 01, 2021 59 Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… 2.2 Participants This research was conducted to fourth-grade elementary students of SDN Rumpuk- Lamongan with the total number of 23 students as a respondent for model testing with one group pre-test post-test design [44]. 2.3 Instrument Instruments used in this study consisted of a validation sheet, observation sheet, scientific literacy test, and student questionnaire response. Validation sheet: The validation sheet was used by validators to assess the quality of the developed SSI-GBIM from interface, content presentation, design, content appropriateness, ease of use, and update. Observation sheet: The observation sheet as a guide to assess students’ activities during a lesson as follows (a) paying attention to the teacher’s explanation or instruc- tion, (b) doing a research activity or problem-solving, (c) taking notes/doing activities which involve writing on a notebook, (d) doing activities using the developed media (via students’ cell phone), (e) discussing with peers or teacher, (f) googling answers, and (g) playing games. Scientific literacy test: The scientific literacy test comprising 20 multiple choice questions designed according to the cognitive demand level in scientific literacy as- sessment. It is classified into three taxonomy dimensions as follows: a) Low. Students with low scientific literacy can only conduct a one-step procedure such as recalling facts, definitions, principles, or concepts and finding the gist of a graphic or table. b) Medium. Students with medium scientific literacy can use and apply their concep- tual knowledge to describe and explain a phenomenon, choose a suitable procedure by incorporating two or more steps, organize or present data, interpret or use sim- ple data or graphics. c) High. Students with high scientific literacy can analyze complex data or infor- mation, synthesize or evaluate evidence, prove arguments stated by various sources, develop planning or steps to solve a problem. The 20 multiple-choice questions consisted of eight questions with low cognitive demand, six questions with medium cognitive demand, and six questions with high cognitive demand. Question validation analysis using SPPS resulted in 17 valid ques- tions and 3 invalid questions (r count < 0.325). The invalid questions were not used. Question reliability measurement using KR-20 resulted in 0.430 in the medium cate- gory. Student questionnaire response: The student questionnaire response sheet was used to determine student responses towards scientific learning activity using MMI that consisted of content, scientific literacy test, and instruction. 60 http://www.i-jim.org Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… 2.4 Data analysis Data analysis was used to describe the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the SSI-GBIM. Validity: Validity data was obtained from the assessment by two media experts as a validator using the validation sheet as the instrument. Data compared with interac- tive multimedia feasibility assessment criteria [44]. Practicality: Data on the practicality of using SSI-GBIM was obtained from stu- dents’ activity during the lesson. The analysis of the observation result of student’s activity was descriptive quantitative with the percentage of time for an activity against the total time. Effectivity: Data on the SSI-GBIM effectiveness was obtained from scientific lit- eracy tests and student’s responses. The result of the scientific literacy test was served in the form of scoring and leveling. The score given to each level referred to the minimum score of the master level of PISA 2013 which was then processed and formulated using a scoring formula with different weight items. Thus, the score rang- es were obtained for each category of scientific literacy level [61]. From that calcula- tion, score and level were categorized as follows: 0-2 (low level); 3-12 (level 1); 13- 28 (level 2); 29-43 (level 3); 44-59 (level 4); 60-78 (level 5); and 79-100 (level 6). Scientific literacy improvement was described using normalized gain (N-gain) and its criteria [45-46]. The data of students’ responses towards learning using SSI and Gadget-based IM were analyzed using a descriptive statistic in percentage. 3 Results and Discussion 3.1 Validity The prototype of the SSI-GBIM was validated by two media experts. The valida- tion result is shown in Table 1. Table 1. The Result of Validity Assessment of the SSI-GBIM Aspect of scoring Validity Score Criteria Content suitability for elementary students’ development 3.50 Very valid Material served suitable for Elementary students’ characteristic 3.00 Valid Interface 3.75 Very valid Design of SSI-Gadget-based MMI 3.75 Very valid Ease of use and update 3.75 Very valid Median 3.55 Very valid Validators’ assessment result shows that the SSI-GBIM acquired a median of 3.55 (from 1 – 4 score interval) and is categorized as very valid. The prototype of SSI- GBIM had also been revised based on the validators’ input, especially on the technical aspect, namely, the character’s voice over (A’laa, Rakha, and Gugun) in the applica- tion that were quite similar to each other. Therefore, the voice of those three charac- iJIM ‒ Vol. 15, No. 01, 2021 61 Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… ters should be made different. Besides, bugs were still found in that application. The bugs included some unheard audios, too small fonts, and two loading pages in that application. 3.2 Practicality The practicality was observed from students’ activity during the lesson using the- GBIM. The observation of overall students’ activity during the lesson can be seen in Table 2. Table 2. The Percentage of Students’ Activity No. Observation Category Percentage (%) Median Pert. I Pert.

The percentage shows that the students were very enthusiastic about partici- pating in the learning activity using the developed SSI and Gadget-based IM. 3.3 Effectivity The effectivity of using the SSI-GBIM was seen from the N-gain scores of scien- tific literacy and students’ responses. Students’ scientific literacy for each cognitive demand is shown in Table 3. Table 3. Students’ Capacity of Scientific Literacy in each Cognitive Demand Cognitive Demand Activity Median (%) N-Gain Criterion Low (L) Pre-test (R1) 29 0.3 Medium Post-test (R2) 51 Medium (M) Pre-test (S1) 29 0.3 Medium Post-test (S2) 52 High (H) Pre-test (T1) 36 0.3 Medium Post-test (T2) 57 Based on Table 3, students’ capacity in doing the scientific literacy test for each cognitive demand was <50% during the pretest. The median increased during the post-test to 51% for R2, 52% for S2, and 57% for T2. The capacity of scientific litera- 62 http://www.i-jim.org Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… cy being assessed encompasses students’ knowledge, context, and scientific compe- tency. The result of students’ scientific literacy test consisting of knowledge, context, and competency is shown in Table 4. Table 4.

The increase of students’ scientific literacy score indicated by an N-gain of 0.4 in the medium catego- ry. The average level increases from level 3 to level 4. Students in level 4 have an effective capacity that works in situations or problems involving explicit phenome- non, requiring them to make a conclusion about the role of science or technology, choose and integrate the definition from different disciplines of science or technology and incorporate them directly to the aspects of life, make an action and communicate based on scientific knowledge, decision, and the fact [47]. The score and level im- provements of students’ scientific literacy cannot be separated from students’ activity during the learning activity and their response toward the SSI-GBIM used in the les- son. The overall response of students is written in Table 5. iJIM ‒ Vol. 15, No. 01, 2021 63 Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… Table 5.

The high percentage means that students respond well to the learning activity using the developed SSI-GBIM. Along with those as- pects, students were also allowed to make comments on the learning activity using the developed SSI-GBIM by leaving their thoughts in the comment section available. From that comment section, students expressed that the learning activity using SSI and Gadget-based IM was so interesting since it used a cell phone as a medium. Learning became so much fun and not boring. Students got to learn new knowledge, the icon on the application was cute and the colors were attractive. Learning with the cell phone was so fun and fascinating. There were games, fun applications, complete subject matter, study matter, and questions and it was easier to understand. The result is in line with a statement by Piaget stating that children are naturally curious and they always try to understand the world around them. That curiosity is the one that motivates them to develop a certain understanding regarding the environment they are living in. In the developed SSI-GBIM, there are SSI served in each sub dis- cussion chapter. The SSI explained are hot issues in society and the media. Those SSI are not solely used to contextualize the learning activity, yet, it stimulates students’ curiosity towards those issues. After observing those SSI, students were asked to learn scientific concepts relevant to the context of SSI. On top of that, SSI-GBIM also of- fers research activity for the students to strengthen and apply the concepts they al- ready-learned; thus, learning becomes much more meaningful. This is in line with Meyer and Moreno’s research [48] stating that multimedia takes a role to create a 64 http://www.i-jim.org Paper—Gadget-Based Interactive Multimedia on Socio-Scientific Issues to Improve Elementary… meaningful learning activity. A meaningful learning may help students grasp onto knowledge and store them in a long-term memory. Moreover, it will help students apply the knowledge they have into real, new, and different situations. This is in line with Eliyawati’s research [49] stating that the use of multimedia can enhance stu- dents’ scientific literacy to medium category. Fan & Geelan [50] add that the use of multimedia in learning contributes to the development of high-quality scientific edu- cation and improve students’ scientific literacy in the future. Latif [51] argues that the use of scientific literacy-based multimedia may improve students’ scientific literacy. The result indicated that the SSI-GBIM with Healthy Food as a Theme is effective to improve students’ scientific literacy. This shows that Indonesian students’ scientific literacy can be improved in line with the effort of improving scientific literacy through research [45] and [52]. The result also showed creative ways that attract stu- dents and instill them with the desire to read, think, investigate, and make decisions regarding the socio-scientific issues given. The creative ways done were using flip- book [53] and blog [52]. Current students in school are Generation Z students, a gen- eration born in the 2000s. This generation tends to be inseparable from gadget. This condition is used by the teacher as a huge opportunity to benefit from the gadget as a Science learning medium. This result is in line with Clayton and Murphy’s research [54], stating that the proper use of gadgets may stimulate students learning. Gadgets and games have a positive impact on the world of education [55-61]. Anshari et al. [42] add that students with gadgets and games can be productive and successful as long as it has the appropriate term of use. 4 Conclusion Based on the research and discussion above, it can be concluded that the SSI- GBIM with Healthy Food as a Theme is feasible to improve the capacity of Elemen- tary students’ scientific literacy, as it is proven to acquire a validation score of 3.55 (from 1 – 4 score interval) with a criterion of very valid and a practicality of good, seen from student’s activity which is dominantly filled with students spending their time using the developed media (via their gadget) with a percentage of 28%. The method is considered effective as seen from the positive response towards the learning activity using SSI and Gadget-based interactive multimedia and students’ scientific literacy improvement from level 3 to level 4, with N-gain amounting to 0.4 (at medi- um category). This result shows that the SSI-GBIM can be used as an alternative learning medium to improve elementary students’ scientific literacy skills. 5 Acknowledgement The result of this research is a product of basic research supported by the Postgrad- uate program of Universitas Negeri Surabaya.
